I just did an all nighter. My eyes hurt and I'm sleepy. Oyyy. |

I find I often sleep better on the couch than in my bed.  This is after 2 different beds and 3 different couches. It only changed recently because we got a really small couch that's uncomfortable.  |

For probably the better part of 8 years I averaged about 3-4 hours of sleep a night. I think there are a lot of things that can contribute to not being able to sleep. I would try these:
1) Remove or cover up all light sources, even the smallest ones. 2) Get rid of any noise. If your computer is near and isn't silent, turn it off. 3) Avoid caffeine like the plague. 4) About an hour or so before you go to sleep turn off the lights, your body will start getting ready to go to sleep. 5) If your mind is running at night try to practice clearing your mind and calming your self down. Get out of the habit of thinking about things when you get bored 'cause you can't sleep. 6) Try some different covers/pillows/whatever. Comfort is important for those with trouble sleeping. |

Another thing you can do is take two gravol before bed on nights when it is particularly bad. |

Still havn't had a good night's sleep. Had to work early the last two mornings. But tonight's sleep session will be wonderful. I don't work until 2:30 PM  |

Originally posted by Aiya Computers are more interactive and I can find things to do. I don't take fancy to watching people do stupid staged plays that will never happen in my life time, and if it does, it will probably be very unlikely. It's not like I am just going to wind up traped on an island with a bunch of complete strangers trying to win a million dollars. |

Get a mug.
Pour milk into it. Put a thimble of rum into this milk. Put milk into microwave. Warm the milk. Put in some honey. Stir. |

I don't mean I go on the computer to fall asleep, I mean I do that when I've given up on sleeping entirely. |

When that happens to me, I go temp. color blind! O_o
Now that's weird. Hopefully Vyper is alseep right now. I know I never will be, not on weekends. Sleeping is something you do when you're dead. I want to live now! |

I meant more in the sense that staring at a computer screen for a long time can make your eyes tired, and then if you add small font to that.. *shrug* Maybe I'm just weird. :< |

A few people already mentioned the computer getaway (HyperHacker). Yeah, if you can't sleep, at least get posctount++
As for overthinking, that happens to me if I ever try to sleep before 11:00PM, I just lye awake till about midnight. |

.. I'm surprised you don't keel over at your computer then, Mistar Hellfire. :< (I know computers aren't all THAT similar, but.. yeah. :x)
I deal with insomnia a lot. Not quite as much now as I used to, but.. yeah. I only tried taking pills to sleep once; it was awful, and I'm never doing it again. I generally just lie in bed and stare at my laptop, reading things with small text that make my eyes tired. And then I lie with my eyes closed until I go from thinking about to stuff to.. not being awake anymore. If you do anything that stimulates your brain at all, it'll be harder to sleep (as I'm sure you probably know). Try just lying there and thinking about something completely random that doesn't have much to think about. Like your big toe, or something. heh. Drinking something warm before you sleep (coffee, tea, and hot chocolate obviously not withstanding, so uh.. I dunno. Apple cider? XD) is supposed to help, but I dunno. It usually doesn't help me sleep unless I'm already about to sleep. Basically, getting to sleep is slightly different for everyone. :< Good luck finding what works for you.. =/ |

I turn on my iPod and list to Green Day's Insomnia tracks ... thinking of the irony!

To fall asleep (guaranteed), read Silas Marner, the book we are currently reading at my school. If you want, you could just start reading from chapter 1 right now. At least check it out for a minute or two. |

Originally posted by Vyper I was trying to make a joke. Seriously, LotR always puts me strait to sleep. Then again, so does nearly anything else projected from a television. |

Eh, I usually play my DS when I'm feeling insomniac. I'll play until the point I can't keep my eyes open on focusing on the game.
That's only on weekdays though. On weekends, I'll just lay in bed until I finally fall asleep. |

I'd rather listen to some soothing instrumental tunes on my iPod. That or anything I can find on OC Remix. |

Dragon hellfire, did you even read my original post? I refuse to take any kind of pill I don't need.
Long, long story that none of you want to hear. Let's just leave it at the fact that I don't like pills  |
